UFC Fight Night 32 is truly an event to forget for Ron Jason. In addition to the defeat to Jeremy Stephens in just 40 seconds and the 15 points suffered after punching the locker room door in a fit of rage, the TUF Brazil 1 champion was suspended for thirty days by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) for unsportsmanlike conduct, precisely for the episode behind the scenes .
To make Jason's situation worse, the suspension only begins after a period of 180 days, a period in which the Ceará native remains away on medical advice. As a result, Rony will be out of action for around seven months, with a possible return only after June 9th of next year.
After the incident in the locker rooms, in a press conference, UFC president Dana White put the incident into perspective.” That happens. Young guys like him, after a big defeat like that, do stupid things…”, said the manager. Even so, Jason himself apologized to his fans, through his profile on Twitter. “”I would like to apologize to anyone who believes in me, I am very sad about the defeat”, wrote the fighter.
